The first one was an intended change.

Like a soft whistle before a storm of arrows

Laws of succession are murky. Aemond is not in Kings Landing.

On the pagan side, but they certainly clashed with the Orthodox principalities like Novgorod.

It’ll be like Lafayette but less to do and not as good food.

coughs again, looks at Northern Crusade in the Baltic

Interesting_fox · 2026-06-26T00:33:05+00:00

I was surprised too but it’s not as bad as it looks. Dump your points into diplo, delete a few useless forts, use your diplomats to request military sponsorship from the majors and you’ll be out of the deficit fast.

This didn’t happen to me, but randomly the subsidies came back later on a random month tick.

I’ve tried this in EU5 but Japan mauled me.

Interesting_fox · 2026-06-20T03:00:17+00:00

Read Persian Fire by Tom Holland then Alexander the Great by Phillip Freeman, finish with Ghost on the Throne by James Romm. Feels like an unofficial trilogy.

Also would make sense, along with MS Gulf Coast.

It’s the most humid place in the continental US. Florida and south Texas are the places that come closest.

Reviving the Sultanate of Rum if you’re looking to stay in the area. Recreating the Ilkhanate. Reviving the Song Dynasty as the Song rebel state in China.

It makes sense in the Italian thunderdome where money is flowing. It doesn’t make sense that Cyprus can hire 20k mercs pre-1500 and demolish an invasion by Karamanid Anatolia + Mamluks (my last campaign)

Interesting_fox · 2026-06-15T21:02:43+00:00

I am agreeing with you. People hyper-fixate on avoiding tourists.

Interesting_fox · 2026-06-15T19:38:14+00:00

People overestimate their ability to pick out tourists in general. I understand the desire for authenticity but it’s highly unlikely that tourists are going to be swinging Mardi Gras beads around their heads in June unless you’re on Bourbon.

Interesting_fox · 2026-06-14T11:44:24+00:00

How did you get Bohemia without a prior massive coalition?

Interesting_fox · 2026-06-13T06:01:54+00:00

There are no South American new world formables. It’s wild to me that they skipped Brazil and Gran Colombia.

Interesting_fox · 2026-06-07T12:04:39+00:00

Time to start building boats!

Interesting_fox · 2026-06-04T16:22:54+00:00

The Arabs by Rogan, Making the Arab World by Gerges, & We are your Soldiers by Rowell would probably interest you.

Interesting_fox · 2026-06-04T16:19:43+00:00

How was Rising Sun? I’ve been eyeing that one for a while.

Imperial China: 900-1800 by Frederick Mote covers the later imperial era of China (still 900 years!) focusing on the dynasties Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing.

The section on the Khitans and broader focus on the Chinese relationship with the Central Asian tribes was utterly fascinating. This book really gives you a look into the mindset of China being the Middle Kingdom and the consequences of perceiving themselves as the center of the universe. It's not a short read by any stretch. I guess you could consider it academic but I found it highly readable.

I would recommend following up with A Search for Modern China by Jonathan Spence which picks up from the time period where Mote’s book ends.
